I keep finding Akira annoying. Maybe realistically great many high school kids are like that: they don't want to take responsibility for anything, aside from their own hobbies and schoolwork. But Akira actually did save a classmate from the streets, so how could he be a person who doesn't want to deal with anything extra in his life? Yet in practice he only cares about his own transfer, otherwise he may cordially keep her company, but makes damn sure he won't give any input, making Aoi feel like no matter what happens to her, it has got nothing to do with him. How can such an MC work in a romcom?

Can someone spoil, is the father a bad guy?
I mean, he divorced his wife then never talked to his daughter for 9 years, you tell me? That's the real issue here. He abandoned her and is now coming back acting like he'll take her in as if that fixes everything. Meanwhile, he's built a new family and lives happily with them apparently.

I hate the "I don't understand my own feelings" trope... :shamihuh:
Like, you're not 8, who the fuck doesn't know what "their own feelings" are at that age? :facepalm:

It's obvious these tropes are ment to add more chapters by prolonging the drama...
I mean, they're high school-aged. Even if they're at the latest of 18 years old, the latest research suggests a person's brain isn't fully developed until they're 25, on average. I think we can say that 18, while being the 'age of majority', is also the average age where people start to become more conscious of their actions, decisions, and the weight that comes with them.

The reason why most of these romcom mangas take place in high school years is it's because it's a time of whirlwind emotions, confusing situations, and most importantly, 'growing up'. Add into the complications of growing up in a single-parent household that neglects their own kid, let alone a married pair of parents letting a high schooler live on their own with no supervision, why wouldn't their emotional developments be stunted?

Just an FYI, but the term you're looking for is "age of majority", i.e., when a person is legally considered an adult; "age of consent" is when a person is legally able to consent to sexual acts and the actual age varies widely around the world, but is more commonly 16 rather than 18.

The age of majority is typically 18, though it's higher in some nations; it was 20 in Japan until 2018, for instance (it's now 18, as well).

Fixed my comment. Thanks for pointing it out, and I get it may differ between cultures, but I think my main point should still stand.

Another mc who doesn’t know what is love (baby don’t hurt me), that trope is tiring. All the conversations he had with his friends served no purpose :facepalm:

I have a bad feeling in my gut. There's strong foreshadowing (page 30). What was the reason they divorced and why would the mom keep quiet? Is it really a coincidence the dad gets in contact NOW (that has some additional ill omens as it happens just as she's about to reach age of consent, but I really hope this isn't heading THAT way..)?...

Well, her fate is for her to decide. If anything, it'd be strange if he started dictating.

Lol, have you ever been in any situations where the choice you make is likely to decide your life for years going forward? It's never easy, and decision paralysis is real.

I'm not talking about making a choice that "decides your life for years".
I'm talking about him not being able to understand what his feelings are. (which is love, we all know that)

The way the mangaka keeps writing about "a bad feeling" about the dad tells me he is most likely a bad person, coupled with the fact that he only went to check the apartment 2 weeks after she moved in with mc
